Re: keys/locks/ignition/ecu enquiry

So I got the car today and it’s a standard key. No remote. If I buy a second hand ignition with the corresponding key will I need to program that to the car?

keys/locks/ignition/ecu enquiry

Hello,

I have just bought a VW Polo 2013 S60. It has no keys.

Will I need to program the car to the new ECU to get it working as supposed to?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks
